Thanks to all my reviewers! Snape doesn't come in to the story until later!

Chapter 4: The Know It All

After the plates were magically cleaned, Dumbledore got up and stated that the forest was out of bounds to all students and not to do magic in the corridors. He introduced the new defense against the dark arts teacher, Professor Fantasimo, an Italian. He wrapped it up for bed with the school song.

"I'll see you later guys." Harry said as his friends went with the Gryffindor prefects while he waited for Professor Dumbledore. He stared at the ceiling in awe and was startled by a tap on his shoulder.

"Harry will you come with me please?" Dumbledore said, causing Harry to jump in surprise.

"Yes sir." They walked in silence, with Harry contemplating what he could possibly want. Dumbledore had stopped at a statue of a stone gargoyle and said the password "Gum drops." Inside the gargoyle was a stunning spiral staircase that moved as both climbed onto it and led to a door. Dumbledore opened it and invited Harry to sit down in a chair in front of his desk. Harry stared around the room in wonder and saw one of the most beautiful birds in the world.

'That's a phoenix,' a voice inside his head said, 'His name is Fawkes.' Harry finished glancing around and felt Dumbledore's eyes on him. He sat there feeling uncomfortable until he said "You wanted to see me sir?"

"Yes I did. Harry, what I am about to tell you must not leave this room...understood?" Harry nodded. "You and I Harry are Know It Alls and... you are also a parslemouth."

"A what and a what?" Harry questioned, wondering where the little informative voice inside his head had gone.

"I'll answer the latter first. A parslemouth is..."

"Is a person who talks to snakes," Harry finished, "How do I keep doing that?" He looked over at Dumbledore incredulously. Dumbledore just laughed. "I think this will explain the answer to what a Know It All is." He said. He pulled out a book and flipped it open to a page. "Here, read this."

A Know It All is a person who literally knows it all. They have a voice in their head that takes the form of a person that they care fo and cares for them. They see 'visions' or scenes in their head of things that happen in the past, present, and future. Their full power doesn't come until they are told about it. Once that happens, they are shown a happy scene and a sad scene. A magical Know It All differs from a muggle Know It All in that a muggle Know It All thinks they know it all and don't, where as a magical Know It All does know it all. There is not much that can be taught to a magical Know It All besides controlling their powers.

Harry just stared at the book in awe. He then was sent images. The first one was the happy one, and he was hugging the headmaster and calling him grandpa. "Learn to trust him," said his voice. The second one was of a wizard killing a man who looked exactly like him, then killing a woman with red hair and his eyes. "That was Voldemort killing your parents." Harry then did two things he never had done before. He burst into tears and went to give Dumbledore a hug.

Albus Dumbledore was looking forward to meeting with Harry. After his speech he got up and made his way over to him and saw him gaze around in wonder.

"Harry will you come with me please?" He said, causing Harry to jump in surprise.

"Yes sir." He said. They walked in silence, Albus wondering how Harry would react. He knew of course, but sometimes the future changes. He stopped at a statue of a stone gargoyle and said the password "Gum drops."Albus invited Harry to sit down in a chair in front of his desk. He watched as Harry stared around the room in wonder and saw Fawkes.

He sat studying Harry until Harry said "You wanted to see me sir?"

"Yes I did. Harry, what I am about to tell you must not leave this room...understood?" Harry nodded. "You and I Harry are Know It Alls and... you are also a parslemouth."

"A what and a what?" Harry questioned.

"I'll answer the latter first. A parslemouth is..."

"Is a person who talks to snakes," He heard Harry finish, "How do I keep doing that?" Harry looked over at him incredulously. He just laughed. "I think this will explain the answer to what a Know It All is." He said. He pulled out a book and flipped it open to a page. "Here, read this." He watched as Harry read and waited for his reaction. He saw Harry burst into tears and watched as he ran over to him. He spread his arms wide and gave Harry a hug. He pulled Harry into is lap and held him, rocking him back and forth. He rubbed his hand in circles on Harry's back and whispered smooth nothings into Harry's ear.

Harry quieted down eventually and looked up, embarrassed. He started to move away, but Dumbledore held on to him.

"It's okay Harry. I'm here for you."

'Thank you sir."

"You're welcome. And in private, call me Albus. Also I am going to give you lessons to teach you to use your powers."

"Yes sir... I mean Albus."

"Harry...I am going to test you. I want you to find your way to the Gryffindor common room, enter it, go up to the dormitories and go to sleep. Is that clear?" Harry stared a him dumbfounded. 'This is easy,' his mental voice said, 'I'll help you.'

"Okay." Harry relented to Albus. "Goodnight Albus.""Good night Harry."

Albus watched the scene in his mind until he was sure Harry made it back and fell asleep. 'That went well,' he thought, 'Well I now have the title of Grandpa, in a few weeks more I might get the title father too.' And with that, he turned and went to bed.
